Laura Babcock Murder Trial 11.10.17 - Day 14

Any testimony that might remain under Publication Ban, and/or any courtroom discussion that takes place when the jury is not present, is strictly off-limits.

Only testimony that is published through MSM reporting (newspaper articles, tweets, tv) is allowed. Provide a source link, and keep discussion focused on testimony as it becomes public knowledge.

The magnificent principle of “innocent until proven guilty” is for the court room … it is not required that the general public / Websleuths members adhere to that principle. Members are allowed to discuss, speculate, theorize, and judge according to opinions they develop from following the specifics of the case.

At all times, remain VICTIM FRIENDLY. No bashing or passing judgment on the victim or family.

There is ZERO TOLERANCE for snarky or disrespectful posts. Don’t expect an explanation … you will find your post has simply disappeared, or that you can no longer post.

There is to be NO name calling or name variations, not even of the accused.

BICKERING between members is not allowed. If you disagree, that's fine, say so and move past the post. If a post is offensive, alert it and let the Mods review it. If you respond to the post, both the offensive post AND yours will be removed and may result in other consequences.

Alert on a post and move on without discussing it, and don't question the decisions of our Mods/Admin or Owner. Also do not expect personalized responses with explanations about a particular decision.

Do not abuse the WS Alert feature. Abuse includes, but is not limited to:
• Overuse of the alert system
• Repeatedly alerting on the same poster
• Demanding a specific outcome
• Alerting on the same post more than once

For the first time at the Laura Babcock murder trial on Thursday, the jury saw the huge animal incinerator that the Crown alleges was used to burn the Toronto woman's body.

Court saw photos of accused killer Mark Smich standing in front of the imposing black machine — smiling from ear to ear — and a screen capture found on co-accused Dellen Millard's computer, from a website asking, "What temperature is cremation done at?"

The Crown alleges Babcock, 23, was burned in the incinerator, dubbed "The Eliminator" by the manufacturer, after she was killed by the pair in July 2012.

Falconer's presentation included a photo shot at 2:40 p.m that day that was recovered from one of Millard's computers. It showed a blue tarp, rolled up, with a dog sitting next to it. The Crown has not explained the significance of the photo.

A witness considered crucial to the Crown's case will face more cross-examination on Friday at the trial of two men accused of killing and incinerating Toronto woman Laura Babcock.

Retired OPP officer Jim Falconer will be back in the witness box for a fourth day — answering questions from the defence about messages, photos and videos found on electronic devices seized from homes of the two accused — Dellen Millard, 32, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 30, of Oakville, Ont.

He's asking about backups with iTunes and iPhones, and how a user has to choose to do a full backup of their phone. #LauraBabcock

Falconer doesn't agree that syncing a device and backing it up are the same thing. "The backup and restore is more fulsome."
"That's actually quite fair, thank you," #Millard responds.

Millard is asking if backup files can be deleted. Falconer says yes. "There's no special programming guard within iTunes that would prevent a person from deleting them, is there?" Falconer says no, he doesn't believe so.

Now messages from Millard and "Kowalski" from July 2012. I'm not really sure what's being said here. Seems to be something about sex.

Next conversation with Kowalski. first a pic, no message, then, "What you do?!" "You told me the only way to make her cum." "You asked me if I minded if you." "That was the last I heard of her." #LauraBabcock

The photo was a shot of #LauraBabcock and the headline "Police looking for woman last seen in Roncesvalles 3 weeks ago"

There was a screen shot here too. It's of a news story about police looking for Laura Babcock. One of the messages in that exchange read "what'd you do?"

The news story was sent by Kowalksi.

Interesting AM's spelling here. Is he at this point thinking LB died during sex with DM? As in something like a choking sex game?
